pretty_rivers

Downloads USGS data for a given location and makes a pretty map of the rivers. The width of the rivers is proportional to the area of land that the section of river drains.

To run :

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Edit the extent of the map you want to produce in extent.csv. Include lat/long coordinates of two opposite corners (i.e. top-left and bottom-right).
  3. Run the scripts:
  • 01_download_data.R - This will take the longest. The whole of Wisconsin downloads ~12GB of data. It downloads the data to a data directory in the repo
  • 02_process_data.R - This loads and processes the data. After the initial run downloading the data for a given extent, you can start with this script.
  • 03_make_figures.R - This generates figures in a figures directory in the repo.
